I work with people of all ages to face challenges and conquer difficulties in a warm and supportive environment. I have over twenty years of experience helping people feel less anxious, sad, and alone, and more capable and empowered to live their best lives.

Life is a journey, it may be a cliché, but it's a statement of truth. Now imagine traveling that journey in a car. Sometimes the road is smooth, and other times, we hit a bump or two and keep on going. Maybe a pothole slows you down, so you pull over because you can't move any longer. You're stuck and can't figure out how to get moving again. You realize you need someone to help you get back on the road.

I believe that life is all about experience and relationships that affect different individuals in different ways, and for different reasons. For that reason, I have an integrated and eclectic approach using relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, supportive and family psychotherapy treatment modalities to treat Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, OCD and Personality Disorders including self injurious behaviors. Treatment is individualized to the needs of each client and collaboration can be coordinated with a nutritionist, psychiatrist and physician when appropriate. I have a group therapy program for adolescents, young adults and women struggling with eating disorders, body image and self -esteem issues.

I believe that therapy is an opportunity for people to get the most out of life. It is a reflection of one’s courage to face familial changes, life stressors and significant emotional experiences. An overarching goal of my practice is to utilize one’s talents, strengths, creativity, wisdom and optimism to help individuals regain control of their complicated lives. As such, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches. I find that Psychodynamic Therapy can be particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining relationships.

As someone who has been on the “other side of the couch”, I am a huge advocate for therapy and its transformative powers. I also recognize the courage it takes to begin the journey of healing and commend you for starting it.

My goal is to create a space for you to feel heard, validated, and supported.

I find my clients are looking to feel heard and understood, to feel like someone is really listening, understanding and validating their experiences.

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients for individual or couple, goal-oriented psychotherapy. I believe that beneath your suffering is an internal system that needs nurturing, updating, and unification, to improve connection to yourself and others. Regardless of the mental health diagnosis (or even in the absence of one), my overall approach is similar: using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and/or Internal Family Systems (IFS), we will work toward understanding the heart of both internal and external messages, freeing you to live a value-based and balanced life.
